A Republican candidate for sheriff in New Hampshire has apologized for saying he would use “deadly force” to stop an abortion, but he still wants to be able to arrest those who perform the legal procedure.

Frank Szabo, who is running for sheriff in Hillsborough, the state’s most populous county, faced a barrage of criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for his comments, which he later said were the result of not understanding the question.

But Szabo told several local media outlets that deadly force would be a “last resort” to stop an abortion.

"If there's no other choice, that's what's needed,” he told WBZ-TV on Wednesday.

Funny thing is, his comment was a logical consequence of viewing abortion as murder. If someone were trying to murder a child or adult, you'd be justified in killing the aggressor.

What a terrific rationale you have for something we can all agree on as murder!

Why, you have seen through the infinite depth of the hidden sense of my post and arrived at my point, quotidianly repeating my exact thought through the lens of sarcasm! What manner of a telepath could you be?
